The ecclesiastical conference in the Amazon celebrates the path cultivated by Pope Francis under the slogan: “Hope is bold.” This meeting seeks to strengthen the synod and social justice, enhance unity in defending the region and respecting human dignity.
Wall Eileen Matthews – Vatican City
During Pontif Bob Francis, the Amazon became a fertile space for meditation, work and renewal. Since his arrival at the Vatican, the Holy Father focused on his pastoral mission to listen to the hustle and bustle of both the land and the societies that inhabited it, which confirms the interdependence between spirituality and nature.
In the statement, Pope Francis’s ecclesiastical commitment is in the statement as an already of deep ecclesiastical conversion. Since the beginning of Pontificate, he insisted that the Amazon should not be considered merely a space for protection, but as a church theme with his voice and dignity.
One of the main moments of this transformation was the Amazon cinemis, which was held in 2019, where the voices of the Amazon peoples were included for the first time in ecclesiastical discrimination. His desires and challenges have become the nucleus of the ecclesiastical mission, which led to the Apostolic Guidance of the Aziz Amazon (2020), which displays four basic dreams: social, cultural, environmental and church, which directs pastoral initiatives in the region.
“When life is threatened and the creation screams under the weight of injustice, God speaks strongly. From this vigilant listening, the Pope encouraged the entire church to look at the Amazon is not the technicians, but with his intensity. It was the cry of the Amazon, and therefore, the seed of the ecclesiastical transformation.”
Comprehensive Environment: Spiritual and Social Commitment
An essential element in the teaching of the Pope is to enhance the integrated environment, a vision that intertwines in defending the environment with social justice and recognizing the original cultures. Inspired by Laudato Si, the Pope stressed that the care of our planet is not just an environmental commitment, but also a spiritual act.
This approach calls for a transformation that goes beyond merely protecting natural resources and covers the respect of the guardian societies in the forest. In this context, the original peoples are estimated as pregnant to know the ancestors, which enriches the life of the church and the well of the natural world.
“With Laudato Yes”, Pope Francis shared a interconnected vision. It is not only related to the protection of rivers and forests, but about embracing the conflicts and hopes of those who inhabit them, especially the indigenous peoples, and the materials of wisdom and living theology. “
The Amazon identity church
Cama is one of the most important fruits of the path drawn by Pope Francis, which represents a new way to be a church in the region: the cinemis, the comprehensive and the commitment to the local reality. This cooperation space brings together religious and secular societies and bishops in a joint attempt to enhance societal life, and the wealth of solidarity and response networks to the challenges facing the Amazon.
For Cama, the legacy of Pope Francis exceeds the mere issuance of documents or symbolic gestures. It is a vivid invitation that motivates the entire church to reconsider its path to establishing lands, sharing the gospel and living in the company with others. From Cama, this inheritance is welcomed by a mixture of responsibility and hope: “I see you in the face of grace and duty to continue this path with humility, joy and faith, building a church with Amazon’s face listening, accompanying and turning.
In this sense, the ecclesiastical conference in the Amazon celebrates a path full of capabilities, reviving bold hope and committing to rid of a more respectable future towards creation in this vibrant region of the planet.
